Flipkart Joins The Reverse Flip Parade

E-commerce giant Flipkart is reportedly considering a "reverse flip," which involves relocating its holding company back to India from Singapore. Flipkart, originally founded in India, had shifted its holding structure overseas for various strategic and regulatory reasons. The potential move back to India aligns with a growing trend among Indian startups that had previously incorporated abroad to return to their home country. This shift is often driven by the desire to access the burgeoning Indian capital markets, benefit from government initiatives promoting domestic incorporation, and simplify complex international holding structures, particularly in anticipation of a public listing in India.
